This article shows U.S. Census totals for Penobscot County, Maine, broken down by municipality, from 1900 to 2000. There are two types of incorporated municipalities in Maine, towns and cities. The tables below differentiate between towns and cities. Most areas of New England are entirely divided into incorporated municipalities, with no unincorporated territory. In the three northern New England states, however, some unincorporated territory does exist, generally in areas that are very sparsely populated. Maine contains significantly more unincorporated territory than the other states, with the bulk of it in interior and northern counties, including Penobscot County. Some unincorporated territory in Maine is organized into a third type of town-level municipality unique to Maine, called a plantation (considered to be “organized”, but not incorporated), while some is entirely unorganized. Penobscot County also contains an Indian reservation, which is considered to be a distinct entity independent from any municipality, although this has not always been the case in the past. Due to the large extent of unincorporated territory in Penobscot County, separate sections with detailed historical census totals for such areas follow the main tables below. For any census, adding up the totals for each town-level municipality, including any plantations, unorganized entities and Indian reservations (when recognized as independent entities), should yield the county total. For more information on the New England municipal system, see New England town. ==Corporate changes since 1900== *1901 – New town of Millinocket incorporated from previously unorganized territory (formerly part of T3 Indian Purchase) *1907 – New town of East Millinocket incorporated from previously unorganized territory (formerly part of TAR7 WELS) *1907 – Mattamiscontis disincorporated; may have been briefly subsequently organized as plantation (see notes to the 1900 Census below), but ultimately reverted to unorganized territory *1921 – Drew Plantation incorporated as a town *1934 – Drew disincorporated; subsequently organized as a plantation *1935 – Kingman disincorporated; subsequently organized as a plantation, but later reverted to unorganized territory *1936 – Mount Chase disincorporated; subsequently organized as a plantation *1937 – Carroll disincorporated; subsequently organized as a plantation *1938 – Argyle disincorporated and reverted to unorganized territory *1939 – Prentiss disincorporated; subsequently organized as a plantation, but later reverted to unorganized territory *1953 – Stacyville Plantation incorporated as a town *1979 – Mount Chase Plantation re-incorporated as a town *1981 – Lakeville Plantation incorporated as a town *1993 – Greenfield disincorporated and reverted to unorganized territory 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Historical United States Census totals for Penobscot County, Maine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
